Hello all, I have been running flood and drain with rockwool cubes for the past year. I recently encountered issues I have never seen before. Please help if possible.
My temperatures peak at 78 and usually get as low as 70 with the lights off. Humidity hangs around 40-50% and I run a flood and drain into pargro 6x6x4 cubes.
My recipe includes H&G base, cal mag, protekt, big bud powder and I run RO. I also use capulators tea OG Biowar every 7-10 days and brew as directed. I also merit75 wp'd according to instructions before transferring and made fresh water with cap's og biowar so its not a aphid or gnat issue...
My plants were super healthy with white roots and no defficiencies when I transferred from my veg room. I flipped it and around week 2 my plants started yellowing out. I thought it was the RO because filters were not changed and ppm was peaking at 300. So I flushed out the cubes and redid the water with fresh RO, and reading around 20ppm. They kept on yellowing out and they stopped eating. I have not peaked over 1000pp5m and i even tried dropping it to around 800 to get them to eat. I also keep my ph between 5.8 and 6.2 but it doesnt seem like its getting better. I think I may have root rot but I have never encountered root rot in rockwool before. I feed 1 time a day for 15 minutes...
I attached some pics to give you a more detailed look at whats going on, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
